As veterinary professionals, we see every day just how powerful the human–animal bond can be. For many pet parents, especially those facing serious health challenges, their dogs, cats, birds, horses, reptiles and pocket pets are more than companions. They are emotional anchors who play a critical role in the caregiving team. That’s why KeraVet, WellHaven Pet Health, and Pet Peace of Mind have joined forces in a partnership designed to help protect that bond when people need it most.
The Pet Peace of Mind mission
Pet Peace of Mind is an organization dedicated to preserving the loving bond between seriously ill people and their pets. Their mission is to ensure that animals remain safe, loved, and supported when their pet parents face crises that threaten their ability to provide care. This includes:
- Health challenges
- Hospice care
- Family emergencies
- Domestic violence situations
- Homelessness
- Any unfortunate circumstance
By preserving the continuity of the human–animal bond, Pet Peace of Mind helps reduce fear, prevent unnecessary shelter relinquishment, and give families a sense of stability during difficult times.
Helping pets and their people in need
For every tube of KeraVet Gel purchased at a WellHaven hospital, KeraVet and WellHaven donate $1 to Pet Peace of Mind, supporting their mission to preserve the connection between pets and their people during difficult circumstances.
These donations directly fund programs that ensure dogs, cats and any other furry, feathered or scaled companions remain safe and cared for if their pet parent becomes unable to provide care.
Uncertain futures become certain
A significant percentage of pet relinquishments to shelters are due to illness or death of a pet parent. That is why a cornerstone of Pet Peace of Mind’s mission is My Pet Placement Plan, a free downloadable tool that can be used to make rehome arrangements for any animal. This resource helps pet parents outline a clear guardian plan, daily routines, health details, and next steps, all with the goal of easing anxiety should something unexpected happen to them. Designed for any species and any situation, My Pet Placement Plan helps ensure continued care and gives pet parents peace of mind knowing their animals will be loved by another guardian if needed. For KeraVet, this partnership is more than a fundraising initiative. It’s a meaningful way to support pet parents in their most vulnerable moments and help preserve the bonds that matter most.
To hear the heart behind this initiative firsthand, listen to KeraVet’s CEO, Dr. Luke Burnett, explain why he feels so strongly about supporting Pet Peace of Mind.
